What is the long U sound?
The long U sound can be defined two ways. One is by the sound of its name, the YOO sound heard in unit, uniform, cute, mule, pupil, and human. However, the U has a long OO sound in words such as dune, flute, chute, fruit, and suit, which is the same sound heard in cool, moon, and tomb. So the long U can be either a YOO or an OO, where the YOO is an OO with a consonant Y in front of it. The difficulty with making both of these the "long U" is that there are word pairs that have both sounds: cute/coot, mute/moot, feud/food, and fuel/fool. Most dictionaries do not use the ū sign for this reason.
